  4. Configurable sound outputs in Android App

    Currently, the Android App is working in an unsatisfying way:

    In the Settings menu, under Sound, I've enabled the option to play sounds using the phone's speaker.
    When I plug in my earphones in my phone (a Samsung Galaxy S6) I expect all sound to be diverted to the earphones, not being played in the public speaker.

    Waze does not behave like this. It plays the sound in the speaker regardless of the cable.

    My request is to let the user configure, in detail, where the sound should go.

    Output sound to:
    [ ] Speaker/headphones
    ( ) Speaker OR headphones…

  5. Habitual Report Cancellers get banned from cancelling

    Police and Photo Radar vans are using Waze to cancel Police/PR reports on the map as Wazers report them... I believe these habitual "cancellers", ie the people who only report things as "Not there" need to be blocked from reporting things as not there. I am sure your system can recognize people who only report things as not being there...

  6. restrictions on canceling reports

    It's obvious that photo radar van operators and police are using Waze. I have driven by a PR van, reported it, and on my way back the report will be gone but the PR van will still be there (someone reported it as "not there"). There should be a "not there" safeguard in place, where depending on your rank on the scoreboard, so many reports of not being there need to be filed before it gets removed from the map, and a "Thanks!" report cancels out a "not there" report.

    For example: I am a Knight, so either a Knight/King…

  7. Don´t take for the average the motorcycle speed

    In all the countries, are motorcycles drivers using waze, when there´s a lot of traffic, they go faster than the cars, I was thinking that the speed of the motorcycles don´t matter, for this important reason it doesn´t have to upload the speed to the waze servers.

    When we open the app, it could be a question: are you usen a motorcycle? or a car?, or it could be a setting too.

    The information that is upload for the motorcycle drivers are impacting to the ETA of the rest of the drivers!!!!!!!!!

  9. Audible alert needed to detour

    Detour alerts need to be spoken; when driving we cannot always stop & read the alert until it is too late & are stuck in stopped traffic.

  10. For every people and preserve the planet, in 1970 there was the "Stop" now there is go-stop

    Hi, I would like to make this program, but it's not my job. However, my idea should be very interesting for everyone I think.
    In the same time, that should be a very good methode to preserve the planet.
    I always use your program and I think that should be a very good idea to put this option in your soft.
    Look my simple site ;-)

  11. Folder for voices

    When you download a voice, it goes to a folder (or even a 2nd app that is a storage/management for voices.) The option to keep voices should happen. I need Gronk back!

    There is nothing worse than finding a voice with a tone that isn't obnoxious. When you do, it is gone a week later. Not to mention, when the new featured voices are also annoying people that you don't want talking to you. (I don't want Jay Leno in my car.)

  15. Warning of Stone/Rock throwing along a certain route

    Sadly in Israel this is a reality and a warning to avoid that route could save lives. Another hazard form option.

  18. Bug: Chosen route changes to shortest route after stopping without warning

    I've discovered that if I choose one of the alternate routes (if it is longer), and start navigating that route, if I go off the route and stop, say, for lunch, when I return to Waze it has rerouted to the default shortest route rather than the original alternate I had chosen. In one case I was unaware of this at first and it started taking me in the opposite direction in order to connect to what was (originally) the shortest route, but due to my current location was now a much longer route.

    That or the "shortest route" default…

  19. Ensure that re-routing doesn't add time to trip

    I have had multiple times where I have chosen to take an alternate, parallel road rather than the one Waze wants me to go (such as I-295 in NJ versus NJ Turnpike, or I-95 Express Lane vs. I-95 in Maryland). In these instances, rather than direct me to the next interchange to continue on the planned route from an upcoming access point, it wanted me to double back and reverse course to the original access point, which would've added 20 minutes to my trip, when just continuing on the alternate route would have only changed ETA by 0-1 minute.

  20. Aplicativo com mais segurança!!!

    Olá pessoal, depois dessa última tragédia no RJ, estive pensando uma forma para evitarmos esse tipo de problema, na minha opinião seria uma boa ideia que toda a vez que o cliente colocasse um endereço que seja uma área de risco, que o aplicativo avise no ato da escolha do endereço, coloca pra piscar na tela uma mensagem do tipo: "ÁREA DE RISCO, CUIDADO"......dessa forma o WAZE estaria mais ainda se isentando de culpa por pessoas que param em endereços errados, embora eu não concorde que esse tipo de erro seja do aplicativo , até porque nesse caso ocorrido ,…
